Vermont Sourdough

Some Vermont Sourdough I baked this weekend. Increased the hydration to 70%. Baked the batard in a gourmet-topf baker that I got this weekend. Got my best ear so far, and a fairly open crumb. The only thing is, I feel like the boule had most of the holes on the upper half, but still a fun bake.

holes in the upper half are do to not degassing enough during pre-shape and shaping 10 minutes later.  Other than that it looks terrific!  Well done and happy baking
